Hecuba

I see God's hand, that buildeth a great crown
For littleness, and hath cast the mighty down.

Andromache

I and my babe are driven among the droves
Of plundered cattle. O, when fortune moves
So swift, the high heart like a slave beats low.

Hecuba

'Tis fearful to be helpless. Men but now
Have taken Cassandra, and I strove in vain.

Andromache

Ah, woe is me; hath Ajax come again?
But other evil yet is at thy gate.

Hecuba

Nay, Daughter, beyond number, beyond weight
My evils are! Doom raceth against doom.

Andromache

Polyxena across Achilles' tomb
Lies slain, a gift flung to the dreamless dead.
